So who here is both a Trekkie and a WWE fan? I got into WWE this year and I've been eating up Raw, SmackDown, and the PPVs. This Saturday is the Money in the Bank PPV. Pretty excited! Anyone going to watch? Who are your picks to win? My picks: Bludgeon Brothers vs Good Brothers Daniel Bryan...

I think we should all take some time to appreciate one of our national treasures, Weird Al Yankovic. During my formative years, I was a devout Weird Al fan. He basically shaped my sense of humor from the time I was a kid through my teenage years. In particular I remember wearing out our copy...

I've been a birder for a few years and it's become a major part of my life. I'm obsessed. I'm wondering if anyone else here is a bird watcher, birder, aviphile, etc. Any other bird nerds? Tell me about your birding! Where do you bird, what birds do you like, do you feed birds, volunteer for...

In the interests of balancing out the "What do you hate most" threads, let's have a "What do you love about DSC so far" thread. No sarcastic praise, please. Let's keep things positive in here. There's room on this board for all kinds. :bolian: I'm really enjoying the show (obviously). Here are...

So EW is reporting that DSC won't follow the old (very old) "no conflict" rule. The article is kind of funny because it forgets that DS9 also threw out this rule back in the 90s and they're reporting on this as if it's a newfangled approach in Star Trek. :shrug: Nevertheless! Still thought I...

More reveals from Entertainment Weekly. New transporter design. Thats....interesting. Definitely different. But different is okay! Change is an essential part of life and so on. Apparently this is aboard the Shenzhou, not the Discovery, so no confirmation on what the DSC transporter will look...

Hey! Here's your captain. Those uniforms are snazzy af. Maybe one day I'll win the lottery and be able to buy one when Anovos inevitably starts selling them. That grim look on his face doesn't bode well for his chances of making it to season 2, amirite? Goddamn I love royal blue!

Potential spoilers? Depends on how fresh you want to be going in. Sonequa Martin-Green gave some details about her character in a recent interview. Appears she'll be the first human to attend the Vulcan Learning Center and the Vulcan Science Academy. Link. Personally I adore the Vulcans, so...

I'm going on a birding vacation to Arizona this weekend and I need some reading material for the plane (other than my field guide). I've been watching DS9 and was wondering what novels do you guys recommend? Specifically I want stuff that takes place prior to the Dominion War because I haven't...

Wondering if anyone else has this experience. I get a profound discomfort from the feel of certain fabrics, particularly rough fabrics or fabrics with a grain. I remember my parents had a couch with a rough texture and unpleasantly rubbing my fingers against the grain. The experience gave me...

I've been on a bit of a Superman kick lately (mostly comics) and remembered this teaser trailer for Superman Returns: The movie turned out pretty bad, but damn that trailer captures the heart and soul of Superman. Still gives me goosebumps. Actually come to think of it, the Man of Steel...

From TrekMovie: http://trekmovie.com/2017/02/26/star-trek-beyond-robbed-by-suicide-squad-at-academy-awards/ Damn right Star Trek Beyond was robbed. STB had incredible prosthetic work. Krall, Jaylah, Kalara, and Syl were amazing. Aside from Killer Croc, Suicide Squad painted "Damaged" on Jared...

TrekCore posted a nice review of the new Enterprise Blu-ray and DVD releases. One of the special features is a cast round-table, which really appeals to me. I got to see some of the cast (Trinneer, Billingsley, Montgomery, and Keating) do a talk at Mission New York last year and it was...

New cast announcement from StarTrek.com. Sarek will be in the show! Played by a gentleman named James Frain (I'm unfamiliar with him). I'm pretty excited to see Sarek again. Link: http://www.startrek.com/article/james-frain-joins-discovery-as-sarek

Anyone have recommendations for some good ENT novels? I'm not too worried about spoilers, even though I haven't even finished season 1 yet (you can't not know what happens in TATV if you're on a Trek forum). What are some of your favorites? Where's a good place to start? Thanks!

The EW is reporting that Sonequa Martin-Green will be the lead in DSC. http://www.ew.com/article/2016/12/14/star-trek-discovery-walking-dead-sonequa-martin-green Fantastic casting, if you ask me. Can't wait to see this show.

Voyager is joining DS9 and ENT in receiving a new DVD release: http://www.treknews.net/2016/12/12/complete-star-trek-voyager-dvd-set-march/ No word on new features -- probably unlikely? But still, here's hoping the new release has better packaging and a reasonable price tag.

I'm curious what you all think is the most thrilling episode of TOS. Like, what has the most exciting plot? I was thinking about this last night while rewatching Journey to Babel. That episode starts out rather low key, but once you get to the fight scene between Kirk and Thelev, the whole...

TrekNews.net reporting DS9 is getting a new DVD release: http://www.treknews.net/2016/11/29/complete-star-trek-ds9-series-re-released-dvd-set/ May include some new special features, which is cool. No Blu-ray. But still, the current DVD complete series run on Amazon for several hundred dollars...

Link: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/09/14/star-trek-discover-may-date Really disappointed to hear this, but I guess I'd rather they take their time and get it right than to rush it to airing before it's ready. The creators are smart, talented people. So, I'll just trust they know what they're...
